"2 players through local hotseat mode."

60Hz NES Gradius 1 is on the 3DS VC now and I immediately bought it for 4.99 as I love Gradius. On the eShop it has this funny little phrase where it tells you the number of players. Literally it means 2 players alternating, just like Super Mario Bros.

Edit:

excerpt from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotseat_(multiplayer_mode)

"Hotseat or hot seat is a multiplayer mode provided by some turn-based video games, which allows two or more players to play on the same device by taking turns playing the game. The name hotseat started as a reference to playing a PC game and trading seats with the other player."

So it's something well established... You learn something new everyday!
